Nice, do you sell these at any shows?

Not yet. I've made a few of them, just not sure how they'd do at craft shows because of what I'd have to sell them for to make any kind of profit. They make great gifts though. I've done a few pen holders like this.

bad@ss!!
In the small qty's you have for sale I'd bet they'd sell for $50ea. Slowly, but how many ya gonna have? This works if you are already selling other stuff

That's fantastic! Bet they'd sell great, and because of the gold, don't sell it cheap!! Some wannabe gold miner will buy it just to remind himself to go mine:)!!! Where did you find a gold miner statue?!

I find the figurines on the internet. I have another that I did last week, but I'm gonna do one more thing to it before I post, it's cooler than this one ;D

Cool idea! I like it. Looks like that miner could use a shovel better than a pan.

LOL! I really like this! Very cool idea... I wonder if I could do a roman soldier with leftover bronze and brass! :-)
